Chapter 225

When the wind and waves completely calm down, the vast sea is only the Jackdaw.

"I can't believe we really escaped!"

Difrena looked around until he could see no more of the enemy. At last he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and sit down on the deck.

After finding Harry and getting the news of Jarvis's betrayal, he was in a state of high tension both mentally and physically. Until now, the danger has disappeared, and his body seems to be completely drained, and he can no longer feel any strength.

Under the situation that the naval firepower is absolutely dominant and the harbor has almost been completely sealed off, only a dozen of them, under the leadership of Zhang Heng, actually drove the Jackdaw out of the blockade, then threw off the pursuers behind them and successfully carried the terrible storm.

During this period, every step was full of danger, and everyone tried their best, but even so, there was still a lot of luck to get to this step, especially when the storm came at the right time. If it was a little later, the Jackdaw would be sunk by the two armed ships, and it was even more incredible that the Jackdaw could go through the storm safely.

As the sky began to brighten, the distant sky turned white, and the drunken crew finally woke up from their sleep. There were more people on the deck, but difrenner's eyes swept around and finally fell on the silent figure at the stern of the ship.

When the man said that he would lead all the people back home, difrenna thought that he was just appeasing the sailors. After all, Zhang Heng, as the captain of the ship at that time, must first stabilize the situation, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually fulfilled his promise and just led the Jackdaw out of the desperate situation.

What he did last night could not have been done by anyone else in his position.

This is beyond the scope of human power and can be called a miracle, which can be seen from the admiration of sailors around.

However, Zhang Heng's face didn't look very happy. Difrenna took a rest for a while, recovered a little strength, got up and went to Zhang Heng. Looking from the latter's eyes, it should be the direction of parrot Island, but after driving so far, he couldn't see anything.

"They Is there another chance? "

Zhang Heng shook his head. "The navy is well prepared this time and has Jarvis as an insider. This time, we have suffered a big loss. Black Prince Sam has no choice but to retreat to the center of the island if they want to survive. But this is exactly what the Navy wants. The Navy doesn't have to do anything. Just wait for two weeks and then go to the island. What they have to face is nothing A group of very weak pirates. "

In fact, he had already guessed the result, which is why Zhang Heng had to leave anyway with jackdaw. The result of this battle was predestined long before it started.

Although the number and firepower of the two sides in the battle are not very different, it is not a fair fight at all. The pirates on the island were attacked by people in the middle of the carnival. They were far away from their warships without any preparation, and their brains were paralyzed by alcohol. In such a state, they were forced to fight. The outcome can be imagined.

While they were talking, they saw the newly recruited bookkeeper on board come in a hurry.

"Captain, Mr. Dufresne, you'd better have a look." The latter said nervously.

Zhang Heng and difrana went down to the warehouse with the bookkeeper. By this time, the sea water in the warehouse was almost cleaned up. Except for being a little wet, they had basically recovered as usual. However, everyone looked very serious and surrounded a light bucket.

Difrena reached inside and took the saliva to his mouth, but after tasting the salty taste, he soon spat it out again, and then asked, "how many?"

"Our luck is not good. Two shells landed in our fresh water storage area, probably destroyed 78 barrels of fresh water, and some wooden barrels were damaged. Originally, nothing happened, but once the cabin was flooded, it was finished. In addition, there was not much rum left on the ship, because we took out 30 barrels at the party before."

"Anything else?" Quartermaster see bookkeeper said half swallow saliva, frown way.

"And the biscuits stored here are soaked in sea water. We rescued some of them, but some of them should be inedible."

"So how long do we have enough food and fresh water on board now?"

"It's good for food. There are no biscuits, potatoes, bacon and other things. In addition, we can organize manual fishing on the ship. If we save some food, we should be able to survive to Nassau. But fresh water, fresh water may only be enough for us to drink for another four days."

"Four days?"

"At the current rate of consumption, yes."

Difrenner immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It took the Jackdaw nearly two weeks to sail from Nassau to parrot Island, and it was still in the downwind.

Now the Jackdaw has just gone through a big war. Fortunately, the mast has not been seriously damaged. As for the damaged sails, they have been organized to repair them. However, the current wind direction is not good for them, so it will take longer to go back."Is there any fresh water island nearby?" Zhang Heng, who had been silent, asked.

"Nearby There is an island, only a quarter of the size of parrot Island, but there is no water on the island A sailor said.

"From now on, we will start to strictly control the fresh water rationing, and each person will be allocated according to the quantity every day." Dufresne road.

Zhang Heng said to Harry, "go to the captain's room and get my chart."

The latter is listening to the conversation here, thinking about when difrena will tell Zhang Heng his credit. As a result, he is stunned when he hears Zhang Heng speak, but he immediately thinks of something, and his face shows a touch of joy, and rushes to the captain's room quickly.

As a result, Zhang Heng's captain's room was damaged. Harry was not familiar with it, so he took a long time to find the nautical chart from the top of the bookcase and take it down.

Zhang Heng spread out the chart, first found the parrot Island, and then found the nearest Island, and then seemed to be calculating something.

Difrena was puzzled. "Isn't there any fresh water on that island? What's the use of going there? "

"We've been chased and beaten by those guys for so long. It's a bit too cheap for us to leave without any interest. Besides, we have to fall on them if we want fresh water." Zhang Heng light way.
